The accounts that keep you up at night
The honest bit
Your hostel runs fine. Only the paperwork is the problem.
The problem is not you. It is the register — it cannot add up on its own, it cannot remind anyone, and it cannot be in two places at one time. VIDUTHI does all that for you.
The 3rd of every month
You are calling up eleven people for rent, and you cannot recall which four already gave cash last week.
The deposit nobody wrote down
A resident moves out. You need to check their deposit, outstanding mess charges and the amount to return.
The bed that sat empty
Room 204 had one bed vacant for six weeks. You found out only while counting beds, instead of when it became vacant.
The electricity bill
One meter, nine residents, three on leave for half the month. You divide it by hand on paper. Every single month.
What it does
Your everyday hostel tasks, in one place.
Rooms, beds & allotment
Blocks, floors, rooms, beds. See who is in which bed, which beds are vacant, and what rent each bed brings.
Rent & invoice calculations
Generate rent invoices for each billing cycle, with daily calculations for residents who join mid-month. Deposits stay separate from rent.
Payments & receipts
Record cash payments and verify UPI or bank-transfer payment claims. Confirmed payments get numbered receipts with the amount in words.
Mess & leave
Approved leave can reduce mess charges based on the daily rate and eligible leave days, calculated to two decimal places.
Electricity bills, split fairly
Record meter readings and allocate electricity charges to residents using the billing split.
Complaints you can track
Residents can report a leaking tap from their phone. Assign the complaint, track progress and record its resolution.
Staff who see only their part
Give staff access to the tasks they handle. Control who can view residents, rooms, complaints and payment records through role permissions.
Reports you can show an auditor
Collection, dues, occupancy, expenses. Every rupee can be traced back to its entry. Nothing gets changed behind your back.
Getting started
Four steps to simpler hostel management.
- 01
Set up your hostel
Add your property details, buildings, floors, rooms, beds, rent and due dates. Update them whenever your hostel changes.
- 02
Add your residents
Add each resident’s name, phone, bed, deposit and joining date. Residents can use their own login to check their dues.
- 03
Manage each billing cycle
Generate invoices, verify payment claims and issue receipts. Check collections and outstanding dues from your dashboard.
- 04
Follow up on dues
Use reminders to follow up on outstanding dues. Enable the notification channels you want to use and track payments in one place.
On your phone & web
One app for owners. One for residents.
The hostel, in your pocket.
View collections, check bed-by-bed occupancy, issue receipts and track complaints from your phone. Manage everyday hostel tasks wherever you are.
- Record cash payments
- Send a receipt on WhatsApp
- See every vacant bed

Give residents access to their own records.
Residents can check dues, submit payment proof, download receipts, apply for leave and raise complaints. They pay rent directly to the hostel owner. The resident app has no separate usage fee.

Straight answers
The questions every owner asks first.
Do my residents have to use the app?
No. You can record cash payments, generate invoices and issue receipts from your account. The resident app lets residents check their own records and submit requests.
Where does the rent money go?
Directly to you. Residents pay to your UPI ID or bank account, same as now. We never come in between, and we never hold your money.
How does billing work?
₹1 opens your account on the Starter plan (₹499 a month), billed from the first month. You get one bill a month, 7 days before it is due: the plan for the coming month, plus any extra residents, staff or properties you used, counted by the day. No GST is charged yet. Once Rekoodu Technology is GST-registered, 18% GST will be added, with 30 days' notice. The owner account is free and never counted.
What if I need more residents than my plan has?
Add them. Each one past what your plan includes costs a small amount a month, only for the days they stay. If you go past the plan’s limit, VIDUTHI shows you the plan that fits; upgrading starts at once and you pay only for the days left in the month.
What if a bill is not paid?
You get 3 days' grace after the due date. After that the account becomes read-only: your data stays safe and readable, and your residents keep using their app. Pay the bill and full access comes back at once. Accounts left unpaid are suspended after 7 days and closed after 1 month, with reminders before each step.
Do residents pay?
Residents do not pay a separate fee to use VIDUTHI. The hostel owner pays for software usage; residents pay their rent directly to the owner.
What is included?
All core modules: rooms and beds, residents, rent and invoices, payments and receipts, complaints, leave, visitors, notices, staff access, reports and the mobile apps. In-app and push notifications are free, and every plan includes a monthly number of WhatsApp messages.
I have more than one hostel. Does that work?
Yes. All your properties come under one login, each with its own blocks, rent and staff. View them together or one by one.
Can my warden see the money?
Only if you give them permission. Staff are given roles — a warden can handle rooms, residents and complaints without seeing any collection figures. It is blocked at the system level, not just hidden on screen.
What if I want to leave?
Export your residents, bills, payments and reports any time, and close the account. It is your hostel and your data.
